Paper Kraft Carton: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $0.98 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $0.18 at volume, on a typical 15-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For paper kraft carton, the drivers are dimensions, board caliper, braille, print colors — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
For kraft folding cartons, the biggest price drivers are box size/die complexity, board caliper, print coverage, and pharma extras like braille or special inserts. Real supplier quotes show sharp step-downs at higher MOQs: Made-in-China listings for blank recycled kraft cartons show FOB pricing from $1.43 at 500-999 down to $0.32 at 10,000+ units, while a US supplier lists custom kraft folding cartons at $0.40 for 500-4,999, $0.29 for 5,000-9,999, and $0.19 for 10,000+ units. US-facing trade sellers and import marketplace routes are the most realistic channels for these price bands; fully specified pharma cartons with braille and multi-color print usually sit at the higher end of the band.
